First Marcus Law left and then his replacement Paul O’Brien also had to give up, leaving the former assistant manager in the hot seat after what he promised his wife would be two years off when he left Atherstone.

Ginnelly said: “It was unbelievable but that’s what happens and it’s how you let it affect you, the players and the club.

“My first job was to stabilise the ship and I think I’ve done that. I’ve been in charge for seven games and we’ve won five and drawn the other two.”
